hello .i read your query and it points towards allergic rhinitis which is a response to allergens(commonly pollens,dust,some grasses,smoke,molds ,perfumes etc) and chances are you might also have a deviated nasal septum which increases chances of similar symptoms.
either way,it is not a cause of worry and can be cured easily

if the possible allergen which triggers the condition often can be identified,try to avoid it.since you havenot mentioned the name of the nasal spray you are using,i would advise the following:

an antihistamic drug like levocetrizine or fexofenadine or a combination of either one with montelukast.Both will give excellent response to your said symptoms.

you can use oxymetazoline nasal drops 3 drops each nostril twice daily for 5 days everytime followed humidified steam inhalation.

tried to avoid nasal spray,as it has a tendency to cause rebound effect.
Newer immunotherapy can also be tried as a measure,but i would suggest go with above regimen for 5 to 7 days and see how it works out for you before trying other therapy

hope i have clarified your query.good day
